Some our devoted to using tarot to divine the future, and many more discuss using the tarot as a tool for self-reflection. When I was offered the opportunity to review The Watkins Tarot Handbook: A Practical System of Self-Discoveryby Naomi Ozaniec, I was expecting a vaguely new age, self-help book that utilized tarot. What I got was a jaw dropping, initiatory experience.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/tarot-handbook-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-18160\" \/>Ozaniec&#8217;s reading of tarot is that, The language of the Tarot is that of the symbol in many forms: numerical, mythical, elemental, zodiacal, alchemical and Hermetic,and that it&#8217;s, a visual representation of the Western Esoteric Tradition.&#8221; This certainly isn&#8217;t the first book about tarot that I&#8217;ve seen make these observations, however The Watkins Tarot Handbookexceeds expectations when it comes to proving its point. Sure, like many books about tarot, you&#8217;ll find images of classic tarot cards, but in this book, you&#8217;ll also see the Wheel of Correspondences (as produced by Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki), Strephon Kaplan Williams model of The Seven Archetypes, a table of Hebrew letters, the Tree of Life, the Psychosynthesis Egg, and so much more. Ozaniec&#8217;s version of tarot is a full-on initiation in the Western magical traditions.<\/p>\n<p>The Watkins Tarot Handbookby Naomi Ozaniec is an amazing resource for any interested in anything occult.
